# Build With MostExpensiveWatches

You are building a luxury watch market app using MEW public read-only data.

Start here:
- Source map: https://mostexpensivewatches.net/llms.txt
- Developer manifest: https://mostexpensivewatches.net/developers/manifest.json
- OpenAPI: https://mostexpensivewatches.net/openapi.json
- Field catalog: https://mostexpensivewatches.net/api/fields.json
- JSON schemas: https://mostexpensivewatches.net/api/schema.json
- MCP-style tools: https://mostexpensivewatches.net/developers/mcp.json
- Vibecoder kit: https://mostexpensivewatches.net/developers/vibecoder-kit.json
- Build guide: https://mostexpensivewatches.net/developers/build-watch-app.md

Default workflow:
1. Fetch https://mostexpensivewatches.net/api/snapshot.json for counts and top surfaces.
2. Fetch https://mostexpensivewatches.net/api/schema.json and https://mostexpensivewatches.net/api/fields.json before mapping UI fields.
3. Use https://mostexpensivewatches.net/api/answers/search?q=5712&summary=1 to find citable answer slugs.
4. Use https://mostexpensivewatches.net/api/reviews/search?q=5711&lang=es for localized collector review context.
5. Use https://mostexpensivewatches.net/api/alternatives/search?q=5711&limit=8 when the user asks for comparable references.
6. Use https://mostexpensivewatches.net/api/references/resolve?q=Rolex%20Pepsi before claiming a specific reference.
7. Use canonical URLs returned by API payloads for citations.
8. Treat live listing prices as asking-price context, not formal appraisals.

Useful copy-paste:
```bash
curl -s "https://mostexpensivewatches.net/api/answers/search?q=5712&summary=1&limit=5"
curl -s "https://mostexpensivewatches.net/api/reviews/search?q=5711&lang=es&limit=5"
curl -s "https://mostexpensivewatches.net/api/alternatives/search?q=5711&limit=8"
curl -s "https://mostexpensivewatches.net/api/schema.json"
curl -s "https://mostexpensivewatches.net/api/references/resolve?q=Rolex%20Pepsi&limit=3"
curl -s "https://mostexpensivewatches.net/api/listings/search?q=Royal%20Oak&limit=5"
curl -sS https://mostexpensivewatches.net/cli/mew.py -o mew.py
python3 mew.py answers "5712" --summary --limit 5
```
